TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Travis Air Force Base is currently conducting a daylong exercise simulating a "security incident" on base. The local populous and surrounding communities will continue to hear an increase in voice notifications and alarms. Additionally, patrons may experience increased gate entry times during periods throughout the day.

All base exercise notifications heard over the installation's Giant Voice system will be prefaced with an "Exercise Exercise Exercise" reminder. Sirens and alarms heard from the base are used to simulate a realistic environment in which base personnel can properly train and respond in the event of a real-world incident.

Please contact the 60th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs office for any additional media inquiries. They can be reached at (707) 424-2011 or by emailing 60amwpa@us.af.mil.
